The old way of life

I asked a tour guide that we met for a recommendation of something that we have to do while we are here that is this city. Lobster told us that we needed to see the hutongs. Yes, the tour guide's name was Lobster. Back to the recommendation, that went on our list of things to do. Then while we were in Starbucks one of the few times we have been in there we picked up a magazine about the city and saw some mention of hutongs to visit. So we decided to walk down one of the alleys.

It was fun to walk and look in the various doors and doorways.





It was a fun walk and I am glad that we did it. It is projected that these communities will not last much longer as the city grows vertical.
